Are childless short marriages treated differently on divorce?

Short marriages without children are not treated any differently in divorce proceedings to longer marriages with or without children.

A short childless marriage does not impact the sharing principle, or automatically reduce what either party should receive from the marriage.

In deciding financial matters, a court will consider various factors, including contributions made, standard of living, the parties current and future needs, regardless of the length of the marriage.
